It works, nobody ever complains, and as a pledge it really put what it meant to wear letters into perspective for me.

This is more or less APO Policy.

Items that show MEMBERSHIP are restricted to Brothers. Letter shirts/stich shirts, etc, are seen as signs of membership.

Items that show PARTICIPATION are ok for non-Brothers (ie pledges) to wear. Typically such items have "alpha phi omega" spelled out, not the greek letters. These would include conference t-shirts and the like.

there is nothing wrong with a chapter creating a shirt for the pledges. They will usually spell out APO.

PG members must indicate in their promotional materials that they are a PG. They can't wear items that indicate they are members of APO. But items that show they are a PG of APO is ok. So I guess having APO in greek letters AND indicating they are a PG would be ok.

I think most of us agree that it (or something close) should be policy, but if it *is*, we would like to know where it is written down and why it isn't something easily accessible to the brothers.
